WYSL Clubs,
Attached are the Final Seedings for the Spring 2026 season. The committee and the league have honored most of the requests for changes from the Preliminary Seedings. Some of those changes required moving *other* teams, but we did so within all teams' original requests. As usual, there may be later changes in the divisions if teams drop out or are allowed to come in. Thanks to all the registrars and coaches who responded quickly to emails and phone calls.
We did not move some teams as much as they wanted because we combined divisions and restructured others. Look at the teams you are playing with - usually, they asked to be in a similar level division. There are three 5 team divisions with an 8 game schedule (and no TBS games). We combined some divisions so the colors and numbers may be offset from what you expect.
We hope that teams will accept these placements and have a good season. Seeding is an imprecise process made harder by more players moving to higher or non-league teams. Also please remember that there will always be teams having a difficult season. Dealing with loss and adversity is part of what kids can learn from soccer.
All the applications are in today Friday Feb 13 (thank you, clubs) and are loaded into their GotSoccer divisions. The deadline for all field information is next week Friday 2/20. (Next spring it will be a week earlier!). If you have not yet done so, enter your field info now. Many of you will not “know” what you have. Few clubs have permits. Despite that Make your best guess!
As always, the scheduler asks that you get all the field time you can – from 9am and until sundown or 6:30pm – so we can accommodate the many special requests, general requests, and the 50+% of teams who share their coach with another team.
Now is the time to revise any team application for a coordinated coach or a special request.
Scheduling starts in two weeks. Assuming the data entry and computer process goes quickly, the preliminary schedule will be out by March 9th, the final schedule published by March 22nd and teams will have a three week window to adjust the schedule before the first game on April 12th.
This is only possible if every club meets the deadlines. Thanks and see you on the pitch.
Lee, Terry, Rich, Sam
